C-Gate IoT Platform-Industry 4.0 enable a modular digitisation platform for individually networked welding production.
We have linked our industry 4.0 software, C-gate, which can provide you with the required signal for industry 4.0; with the C-Gate IoT platform, users can access information from their welding production in real-time. All information is entered and processed centrally in an integrated information and communication tool. This allows users to monitor and control their production processes to the smallest detail. It consists of several modules which users can activate depending on their digitalisation strategy.

Achieving efficiency through a diverse range of modern processes with precision
The efficiency of modern processes is crucial for achieving perfection in welding operations. Selecting the appropriate welding process plays a vital role in ensuring successful production outcomes. At CLOOS, we offer a comprehensive range of proven and innovative processes for both manual and automated welding applications. To continuously enhance our welding processes, we conduct extensive research and development in our technology center, replicating practical conditions. Drawing from our century-long tradition in welding and cutting, we combine the right combination of processes, equipment, parameters, and expertise to provide you with the perfect solution for your production requirements.

One of our notable welding processes is Control Weld, which encompasses controlled MIG/MAG welding for various applications. This classic process ensures a stable metal transfer from short arc to spray arc. It is particularly advantageous for joining thin components and performing out-of-position welds. Control Weld provides optimal energy distribution. For specialised applications such as root welding or thin plate welding, we offer Root Weld. This energy-reduced, controlled MIG/MAG short arc process offers a quieter operation with reduced spatter formation. Root Weld delivers exceptional stability and precise control, even in lower capacity ranges. By minimising heat input, it reduces workpiece distortion.

Rapid Weld is our focused high-capacity MIG/MAG spray arc process, ideal for applications requiring deep penetration and secure root fusion. This process generates a highly focused stable arc with a significant arc pressure. With its versatile penetration profile adjustment, it minimises filler material and shielded gas consumption while achieving complete fusion and reducing welding time. Speed Weld, based on voltage-controlled MIG/MAG pulsed arc technology, is widely applicable in metal machining sectors. It delivers a powerful arc, enabling high welding speeds. With its deep penetration capability, Speed Weld ensures excellent weld quality, while minimising spatter and undercuts. Vari Weld, a current-controlled MIG/MAG pulsed arc process, offers versatility across a wide range of applications. This process allows for precise control of the penetration profile in various materials and applications, while preserving their inherent characteristics. Cold Weld is specifically designed for demanding materials, offering optimum heat input control. It combines pulsed arc with AC technology, allowing individual adjustment of heat input into the component. Cold Weld also compensates for material tolerances through excellent gap bridging ability.

Motion Control Weld is an ideal choice for fine plate applications and those with specific surface and appearance requirements. It combines the proven CLOOS Control Weld process with reversing wire, providing exceptional process stability even in the lowest capacity range. Motion Control Weld minimizes spatter and powder residues, reducing the need for extensive rework. This process finds particular relevance in additive production applications. Motion Vari Weld, similar to Motion Control Weld, is designed for fine plate applications and low capacity ranges. It combines the proven CLOOS Vari Weld process with reversing wire, delivering outstanding process stability. By minimising spatter formation and powder residues, Motion Vari Weld ensures high-quality welding results, making it suitable for various applications, including additive production.

Tandem Weld offers versatility for welding thin and thick plates. This process involves two electrically separated arcs burning in a common molten pool. Moreover, this process aids in minimising component distortion and mitigating the need for extensive rework due to its low heat input. If you aspire to optimise the efficiency of your welding production, placing your trust in Tandem Weld by CLOOS is the way to go!
